319.0. "Bionic Ever After?" by GRANPA::JBOBB (Janet Bobb dtn:339-5755) Thu Dec 01 1994 08:07

    I looked throughout the file but didn't see any other note about the
    Bionic Duo.... if I missed it, please feel free to move this note.
    
    Last night, CBS ran  "Bionic Ever After?", a TV movie about the further
    adventures of the 6 Million Dollar man and the Bionic Woman. 
    
    General plot - Steve and Jamie have finally decided to get married
    (only 20 years later...) and the wedding is in a few days. Jamie starts
    having trouble with her bionics, to the point of critical/
    life-threatening. She decides to call off wedding because if she's not
    bionic she doesn't want Steve to stay with her out of pity.  In the
    meantime, the American embassy in Jamica/bahamas/(I forget which
    island)has been taken over by terrorists who don't make any demands to
    the outside, but are actually after one of the guests attending the big
    embassy bash. The big threat is that they brought a SCUD missile with
    them and have it pointed at downtown Island. Steve goes down to help,
    while Jamie is recovering. While down there, Steve starts having
    trouble with his bionics.  ....
    
    
    I liked it. The general plot was pretty silly... a SCUD missile? But it
    was fun to see the characters again. Besides Steve, Jamie and Oscar,
    they had Rudy and the young agent (Jimmy?) from the last TV movie. Some
    good one-liners and a guest appearance by Dave Thomas of Wendy's
    hamburger chain commercials (at least I think it was him, as one of the
    embassy guests, Steve does a quick "How are you doing" and a man
    who looked like Dave Thomas answers in what I think is one of his
    typical lines from the tv commercials - but not in credits at end). And
    the other "main" female I think was the actress who played Alex on
    Wings for the past few seasons - short blond hair, but the voice
    sounded the same.  
    
    General fun for those of us who used to be fans. Lindsay Wagner looks
    great - I wonder if it's her vegetarian diet? She's what - late 40's?
    Lee Majors doesn't look bad, a little pudgy, but not bad....   :^) 
     
    Trivia questions: How many Bionic TV movies have there been - including
    last night, I'm remembering 2, have there been any others?

    still wondering why at 60mph their shoes don't fall apart!

319.3		NETCAD::SIEGEL	The revolution wil not be televised	`Thu Dec 01 1994 09:52`	5
	The woman who co-stars in the movie (the one who is talking to Jamie at the beginning of the movie and wants out of OSI) is named, believe it or not, Farrah. Her last name is something like Forke. adam
319.4	Alex	NETRIX::michaud	Brian Hacket	`Thu Dec 01 1994 10:40`	14
	I hate to admit it, but I did watch this show. Boy did it suck! > The woman who co-stars in the movie (the one who is talking to Jamie at the > beginning of the movie and wants out of OSI) is named, believe it or not, > Farrah. Her last name is something like Forke. When I watched the opening credits, I was thinking maybe it was Farrah Faucet but using a married name (wasn't FF in at least one of the original 6MDM shows?). Is this actress related to the woman who was on the TV show "Wings" for a couple of Season's (ie. "Alex")? Other than the hair color, the face and most definitly the voice are very similiar. I thought it maybe was her .........
319.5		BUSY::FISED::SLABOUNTY	Thailboat!!	`Fri Dec 02 1994 02:30`	8
	Scott dropped off a copy of the show to me this morning. And I'd like to publicly thank him and also take back ALMOST everything I've ever said about him. 8^) GTI
319.6		MILKWY::SMCCORMICK	Boston Strangler	`Fri Dec 02 1994 03:23`	9
	Thanks not necessary, just throw money. :^) I would have taken back everything i've ever said if he had a copy of the Star Trek special last night, but as usual, Slab didn't come through. :^) Scott.
319.7	Yes it was Alex	PCBUOA::LPIERCE	Do the watermelon crawl	`Fri Dec 02 1994 07:53`	12
	>Is this actress related to the woman who was on the TV show >"Wings" for a couple of Season's (ie. "Alex")? Other than the >hair color, the face and most definitly the voice are very >similiar. I thought it maybe was her Yes, it was Alex (aka Farah Fork) as a few other notes have stated. I loved seeing them again, but I hated the plot... way to predictable. I shut it off in the middle and went to sleep. Lou

	> Yes, it was Alex (aka Farah Fork) as a few other notes have stated. The other notes did not state it was "Alex" ..... The hair color (and to a certain degree the glasses) is what threw me off. Glad to see I wasn't insane after all :-)
